Debra Barsha isn’t much of a runner. But that won’t stop her from participating in an event that is dear to her heart. Clad in a t-shirt emblazoned with a silhouetted runner holding up two victory fingers, she will join sisters, Amy, Cindy and Janice Barsha, in a walk/run they started this year in memory of their father, Jerry Barsha. Barsha died in September 2009. He was 83. Read more.

It was a dramatic photo on the front page of Saturday’s New York Times: a lone bugler, framed against the Manhattan skyline, playing to honor the victims of 9/11 on the eighth anniversary of the tragedy.  But the thousands lost in 2001 weren’t the only people bugler Kim Bonsanti was honoring. She was playing taps also for Jerry Barsha, the Syracuse veteran television newsman who had died a day earlier while undergoing treatment at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. Read more.
